The Wolves can create close to $19 million in salary cap room to allow them to pursue free agents when the market opens on Saturday.

After acquiring Chicago Bulls star Jimmy Butler in a trade on draft night last week, the Wolves say they will be aggressive in upgrading the roster to try to end a 13-year playoff drought.
